I didn't know about Twitter until Dr. Armstrong talked about it during class. As Yuri did, I also searched for Twitter on the Internet. I also thought it was something like Mixi or myspace, but it seemed like it was a really simple blog. Twitter might be good for people like me who can't continue blogs since there is limitation in the character. I am not really sure of the negative points since I have never used Twitter before, but the positive point is that you are able to protect and block your messaging. Maybe it is possible to think as a "mini" Mixi.
Yuri- I didn't make an account yet but really interested in it so thinking about making one. It would be great if we used Twitter in some kind of way for class.
